Abstract [en]

For decades, research has been carried out with a focus on concrete structures during curing to mitigate the risk of thermal cracking. Computer programs and aids/tools have also been developed to assess stress and cracking risk analysis of concrete structures during curing. However, today with the recent introduction of low-carbon concretes to reduce the environmental impact of constructions, the reliability of the tools and working procedures, i.e. concrete characterization, is questioned, and a roadmap for research and innovation is called for. The project’s primary purpose is to investigate the need for research and innovation regarding upscaling the usage of low-carbon concrete. The nature of the study is based on an industry-focused workshop with specialists from Scandinavia. Increased knowledge of hardening concrete’s cracking risk-related properties is of the utmost importance for the construction industry as the need for its understanding has recently increased.
